HAIR DRESSING DEVICE Filed Jan. 22, 1937 1 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Feb. 7, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 7 2,146,486 HAIRDRESSING DEVICE Gustav Bosch, Valparaiso, Chile Application January 22, 1937, Serial No. 121,876 6 Claims. (01. 132-'36.l)

My invention relates to the art of hair dressing and it particularly has reference to devices for effecting permanent waves or curls.

The present invention primarily is to provide a curling rod or iron and heat insulating means for interpositioning the iron and the scalp.

Other objects will'in part be obvious and in part generally pointed out hereinafter.

To the attainment of the aforesaid. objects and ends, the invention still further resides in those novel details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, all of which will be first fully described in the following detailed description, then be pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating the manner of using the invention.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the curling rod, per se.

Figure 4 is a detail longitudinal section of the curling rod.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the insulator 'per se.

Figure 6 is a cross section of the insulator in the closed position.

Fig. 7 is a cross-section of the device as shown in Fig. 2, a heater-clamp being shown in dotted lines.

In the drawings, in which like numerals indicate like parts in all the figures, l and 2 represent elongated plates preferably constructed of suitable heat insulating material, such as Bakelite, hard rubber, etc. The plates 1 and 2 are connected together at one end by a strip 3 which is riveted at 5 to the'plate 2 and pivoted at 4 to the plate I so as to serve as a hinge connection between the plates I and 2. At one end thereof the strip 3 carries a clip 6 to hold the curling iron or rod hereinafter again referred to.

The other ends of the plates I and 2 are detachably connected by a loop 'I which is pivoted at 9 to the plate I and when the plates I and 2 are in edge to edge relation the loop I may be slipped over the free end of the plate 2. The loop I is provided with a clip- 8 to hold the curling rod or iron referred to.

Each plate I and 2 has a longitudinal groove Ill in the opposed edges of the plates. nates edge strips of resilient rubber, or other suitable material, which is a poor conductor of heat, the edge strips I2 having wings II to fit in the grooves or recesses Ill. The strips also have aprons I3 which underlie the plates l and 2, as best shown in Figure 6.

l2 desig The rod or iron on which the hair is curled may be a simple rod but is preferably composed of a rod I5 and a grooved member M to receive the rod, the two members I4 and I5 being pivoted together at I6 and provided with finger portions IT by means of which the members I 4 and Ii'rmay be sprung apart, a spring I8 being provided continuously to urge the members I 4 and I5 together.

In using the invention the insulator is placed over a portion'of the hair, as indicated in Figure 1, the plates I and 2 being secured together by slipping the loop I over the plate 2. The ends of the hair are then clamped between the members I4 and I5 and the hair is wound up by rotating the curling iron or bar composed of the members I4 and I5, the curling iron or bar being eventually slipped into the clips 6 and 8 to assume the position shown in Figure 2. The heater-clamp I9 is then put on, see Fig. 7.

The plates I and 2 are provided on their top faces with upstanding, transverse ribs I -2 as best shown in Fig. 5.

The present invention is in part a continuation of my application Serial No. 9,278 filed March 4, 1935.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought the complete construction, operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art.

I claim:

1. In a device for the purpose described, two elongated plates, hinged means holding said plates together at one end, releasable means holding said plates together at their other end, a resilient edge strip carried by the opposing longitudinal edges of the plates, in combination with a curling iron comprising a rod and a channel member pivoted together and including finger engageable portions, and a spring constantly tending tohold said rod and channel members together as a clamp.

2. In a device for the purpose described, two elongated plates, means to hold them in a single plane with a longitudinal edge of one plate opposed to a longitudinal edge of the other plate, said longitudinal edges having recesses, flexible rubber edge-opposing strips having wings held in said recesses and having aprons underlying the respective plates, said holding means including curling rod retaining clips in combination with a curling iron comprising a rod and a channel member pivoted together and including finger engageable portions and a spring constantly tending to hold said rod and channel members together as a clamp.

3. In a device for the purposes described, two relatively thin elongated flat plates, hinge means connecting said plates together at one end, releasable means at the other end of said plates for holding said plates with their longitudinal edges in parallel adjacent planes, said longitudinal edges each having a shallow longitudinal groove, resilient edge strips covering the opposed longitudinal edge surfaces of the plates and having wings to fit into said grooves, and having integral flexible aprons underlying said plates.

4. In a device for the purposes described, two relatively thin elongated flat plates, hinge means connecting said plates together at one end, re leasable means at the other end of said plates for holding said plates with their longitudinal edges in parallel adjacent planes, said longitudinal edges each having a shallow longitudinal groove, resilient edge strips covering the opposed longitudinal edge surfaces of the plates and having wings to fit into said grooves, and having integral flexible aprons underlying said plates, said resilient strips having their outer opposing surfaces convexed.

5. In a device for the purposes described, two

relatively thin elongated fiat plates, hinge means connecting said plates together at one end, releasable means at the other end of said plates for holding said plates with their longitudinal place on one plate of the device.

6. In a device for the purposes described, two relatively thin elongated fiat plates, hinge means connecting said plates together at one end, re-

le'asablemeans at the other end of said plates for holding said plates with their longitudinal edges in parallel adjacent planes, said longitudinal edges each having a shallow longitudinal groove, resilient edge strips covering the opposed longitudinal edge surfaces of the plates and -h'avihg'wii1gs t'o fitinto'said grooves, and having integral flexible "aprons underlying said plates,

said resilient strips having their outer opposing surfacesconvexed, a spring clip carried by said hinged means, and a spring'clip carried by said releasable means for holding a curling iron in place 'on' one plate of 'the'device, said plate having upstanding transverse ribs on the upper faces located intermediate the ends of the plates.
